What are some good alternatives for stuff like mipi screens, 3d printer parts, etc? I can find alternatives for common goods, but uncommon ones are nearly impossible.
I buy directly from the manufacturer if possible. Don’t care about spending more money because I’m buying from them to support them, rather than buying fake Chinese knock-offs from amazon
Hi fren, I'm a humble humanities pede. I'm afraid I'm not your tech person you seek. My husband buys used computers to circumvent funding the CCP (but he's like an open source absolutist so he's sort of in a different market than your average computer user).
I could make microchips and set up a whole printing facility tbh, but I'd mostly be out-competed by China, and any tech I made would be stolen. It be nice to support stopping that.
This! I bought the Domain AMERIZON.US to make an all american amazon competitor but then realized I know nothing about web design, ecommerce or anything of the sort. So if any fellow pedes want to help me I'd be super stoked. Willing to trade shares for work.
I love that idea! I don't know anything about web design but you should make a post about it maybe? (I don't know if that counts as self promotion but it seems like American promotion to me?)
I'm hesitant to do that yet because I don't want the mods to nuke my account, like you said self promotion. But no one said anything about that catturd guy who spammed his own tweets in /r/the_donald and here for years. Now he's been retweeted by the president. I'm trying to think of a way that it can benefit the movement beyond just supporting american manufactures so that the mods would get on board let me promote.
And stop SPENDING YOUR MONEY ON AMAZON.

Do what you can, the more we support our supply chain the more robust it will be, we're really down and out in manufacturing goods.
